今天本人收到一条不是很开心的消息，我们一起来听一首抚慰人心的合唱吧～这首 Cantique de Jean Racine 是 Faure 19岁时参加比赛的作品～歌词是 Jean Racine 对拉丁原文的法语翻译～看不懂法语的我就分享一下英文翻译吧～

Word of the Highest, our only hope,
Eternal day of earth and the heavens,
We break the silence of the peaceful night;
Saviour Divine, cast your eyes upon us!

Pour on us the fire of your powerful grace,
That all hell may flee at the sound of your voice;
Banish the slumber of a weary soul,
That brings forgetfulness of your laws!

O Christ, look with favour upon your faithful people
Now gathered here to praise you;
Receive their hymns offered to your immortal glory;
May they go forth filled with your gifts.
